Looks like Denial of Service ... caught chatter on the shortwave radio about it. Looks to be a concerted effort.

Don’t think NSA cares about their public web site. Their whole working network is off limits to the internet.

All of this coming out about the collection of phone calls of foreign nationals might finally tip the scales.

You have a source on this claim? Unless they've managed the impossible, they're not immune inside. There are ALWAYS attack vectors unless you're using cups and strings.

Their public site is a flypaper.
It only exists to snare the curious and foolhardy.

Though it is a PR coup for someone to knock their public face off the net.

I’ve talked to people who worked there. They take large data dumps from the internet and save them on their internal network. You feel like you’re on the internet, but you’re not. That’s how they keep ‘positive control’. I would imagine the site in Utah is for collecting Huge data dumps from the internet, then they can analyze them without being on the internet.
